Symantec call it a Hacktool.HideWindow rather than a virus. I've noticed it in the last few weeks, which is strange because Symantec claim that definitions have been available since Jan 2004. My investigations suggest that it's not a problem with the Ghost plugin but it will make many people wary.

I exclude it from the Symantec scans but this needs to be done in several places. You could also disconnect from the internet and disable Symantec Auto-Protect while you are building your CD.

Great stuff guys,Ghost 9 works well. Now that we have ghost running in a PE environment from a CD, is it possible to take the iso created with reatogo and boot it from a hard drive rather than a cd.

Why you ask..... well, we install a hard drive once per month to take an image using ghost. I was wondering if we could boot from the removable hard drive into a PE environment and then run the ghost to create an image of the o/s drive

Would there be any advantages of of booting from the removable hard drive, eg speed of the build , or the ability to add drivers on the fly etc.......

Thanks for a great post

OOps forgot to mention, what would be required to get the hard drive to boot windows pe......

I have been reading with interest and tried to create a Bartpe disk with ghost 9 on from systemworks priemer. However I type my product code into the ghost plug in creator but when I boot from this disk the last 4 characters from the product code are missing and Ghost comes up in trial mode without access to cloning mode ( I wish to upgrade a 40g drive to 200g. Any body got any ideas on a solution ?

Boot from your Ghost 9/System Works Premiere Recovery CD, select Copy-Disk option. Be sure to read the section in the FAQ and Ghost 9 User Guide regarding master/slave settings. Caution, if you have more than one partition on your 40gb drive, you have to run copy-disk once for each partition.

My recovery disk did not have a back up drive option that I could find.I can't seem to change what is pasted from the clibpoard. The pasting adds "-" between groups of four characters and truncates the last four letters of the product code I enter into the Ghost plugin creator.

High guys, when booting PE from a hard disk and then running Ghost 9 you dont get prompted for the serial number. I have left it for ages. The ghost icon appears in the system tray, but you are unable to run ghost. When I burn the same image to a cd I am prompted for a s/n and ghost works fine. Has anyone got any thoughts on this?????

Also you are unable to add the serial number manually when right clicking the system tray icon and about. The s/n part is greyed out which is the same as when booting pe from a CD.
